Book 2 in The Chronicles of Caelium trilogy!

Elysia Bryn longs for a life of adventure beneath the sea-but nothing could be further from her current circumstances. As heir to the selkie throne, she's land-locked on the Selkie Isles, and to make matters worse, she will soon be forced to wed the despicable Connor. Elysia wants nothing more than to escape her grim fate, and she will soon get her wish....but will she survive it?

Kai Bennet is trapped in the past. As heir to the Southern Sea's merrow throne, he has certain responsibilities. He should be thrilled with the opportunity to rule the Court of Merrows, but all he can't think about is what he has lost. He spends his days (and his nights) avoiding his duties and holding onto his pain-much to the disappointment of Lady Sirena and his uncle Alistair. But Kai can't help it. It's the only way he knows how to survive.

Since the exile, the selkie and merrow clans have been forced to live by the deadly Treaty of Hiraeth. Merrow men are forbidden from even looking at a selkie woman. Hatred and rumors abound, and when Elysia is invited to visit the Court of Merrows as ambassador for the Selkie Court, tensions between the clans threaten to destroy them all.

All hope seems lost, and in the end, it is up to Kai and Elysia to make sure their people survive. But first...they must learn to survive each other.
